Authors:
  • How do you like to go up in a swing,
    Up in the air so blue?
    Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
    Ever a child can do!
    Up in the air and over the wall,
    Till I can see so wide,
    River and trees and cattle and all
    Over the countryside.
    Till I look down on the garden green,
    Down on the roof so brown-
    Up in the air I go flying again,
    Up in the air and down!

    A Child's Garden of Verses "The Swing" l. 1 (1885)
